Dizzy Dames 1 guess the grade

[gadzukes]

I just got my Dizzy Dames 1 back from CGC. Try to guess the grade. It's pretty nice. You'll have to excuse the Newton Rings. Worst flaw is that it was misaligned when it was cropped.

 

BTW, the comic was fairly flat when I sent it in. I sent it in for pressing. So I was kind of miffed to see the rippling at the top. I don't remember any rippling at the top when I sent it in for pressing (can pressing actually lead to rippling?)

Step right up and test your skills.

 

 

 

Anyone?

Yes, if it was done improperly

CCS did the press so I'm assuming they know what they're doing. And it wasn't a "quick press".

 

CCS has done some great work for me in the past, so I'm pretty comfortable with them. But this Dizzy Dames and the Skeleton Hand 1 that I just had done at the same time both have rippling at the top. Maybe I'm misremembering but I didn't think they had any rippling when I sent them in.

Obviously, I have no way of knowing what happened or what the comics looked like before you sent them in. However, what I said was an appropriate answer to your question. Improper pressing can cause waviness. Use that or don't use that information as you see fit. Just remember, people who know what they're doing can still make mistakes.

8.5

 

I was REALLY hoping for a 9.0. But I'm happy with 8.5

Thanks for posting these! It's good homework/practice.

 

Is the top-edge rippling on the two books being caused by pressure from the slab itself, do you think?

I don't have a clue. This and Skeleton Hand 1 were sent in for pressing at the same time and these are my 1st two to come back in the new holder (which seems great by the way except for the newton rings). The rippling at the top of this one matches the rippling at the top of Skeleton Hand 1 which makes me wonder if the pressing was wonky.

That's food for thought, then. Hmm...
